Here’s the 3-minute video that played on USA network this evening at 6 p.m. – part of his series on U.S. Highway 50.

Emporia: Chris and Ashley Walker

Brokaw’s visit was well timed; he was there for the Gazette’s last printing on its own press. (The paper is now printed in Lawrence.)

  1. Thanks for sharing. It is sad when an era comes to an end. Thank goodness we have documentation of what went on before. I love the small town newspaper. Every morning I click on the Lawrence Journal World to see what is happening in Eastern Kansas. We tried keeping a subscription, but it took 3 or 4 days to get to Texas, so having it on the internet is wonderful but it doesn’t supply any money to the paper or the area to keep it from shutting down someday too. I hope that never happens.
